May I suggest that, rather than inflation, the US dollar value has fallen
in relation to the DGR currency and the problem is not so much Leica's greed
or whatever but the US's fiscal & monetary policy.
I realise that Ben drew no implications from his statement just the facts in
terms of US inflation.
Five lenses:
21mm Zeiss Biogen
24mm Nikon AI
50mm Elmar ( not because its a great lens but because if fits in the pocket
with an FIII)
105mm Nikon AI'd
150mm Zeiss Sonnar (Hasselblad)
